Hooking into the Angular bootstrap process – Angular In Depth

const listeners = listeners.forEach((listener) = listener(componentRef));}This is the function that Angular calls when instantiating the application.

Besides giving insights into how a component is added into the application, it also suggests that for each bootstrapped component Angular calls listeners registered under APP_BOOTSTRAP_LISTENER token and passes bootstrapped component to them.It means that we can use such hooks to subscribe to the application bootstrap process and perform our…

For example, here is how Router hooks into to the process and executes some initialization.Since Angular passes initialized component into the callback, we can get hold of root ComponentRef of the application like this:import {APP_BOOTSTRAP_LISTENER, …} from ‘@angular/core’;@NgModule({ imports: [BrowserModule, ReactiveFormsModule, TasksModule], declarations: [AppComponent, BComponent, AComponent, SComponent, LiteralsComponent], providers: [{…

Angular provides several mechanisms to hook into initialization process. This article explores them and shows how they can be used.APP_BOOTSTRAP_LISTENERIt is possible to register listeners for the Angular bootstrap process. Here is the code where they are called:private _loadComponent(componentRef: ComponentRefany): void { this.tick(); // Get the listeners lazily to prevent DI cycles. const listeners = listeners.forEach((listener) = listener(componentRef));}This is the function that Angular calls when instantiating the application. Besides giving insights into how a component is added into the application, it also suggests that for each bootstrapped component Angular calls listeners registered under APP_BOOTSTRAP_LISTENER token and passes bootstrapped component to them.It means that we can use such hooks to subscribe to the application bootstrap process and perform our initialization logic.
